Male Boesemani Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia boesemani) boast a unique color pattern in their mature bodies, distinguishing them from other Rainbowfish species. Their gorgeous blue and orange hues make for a stunning display, especially when accompanied by several females. We highly recommend purchasing these fish in pairs or as a breeder pack to ensure optimal coloration and prevent aggression towards lone females. These omnivorous fish thrive on a diet of high-quality flake food and protein-rich supplements like baby brine shrimp. With proper care and frequent water changes, Boesemani Rainbowfish will reward you with frequent spawning attempts. Breeding is made easier by mimicking their natural habitat with a yarn mop, and the eggs can even be harvested and hatched in a separate tank to ensure their safety. These vibrant fish are most active and display their best colors at sunrise, making them a stunning addition to any aquarium.
